<DIV><FONT size=2>Heidi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have always had problems with Metastock (my versions have
been 6.5 and 6.52). It isn't a resource problem in the strictest sense, since my
system is a Dell 400 MHz Pentium II with Windows 98, 128 MB RAM and a 8 GB
hard drive that is 75-80% free. On the other hand, it only happens if I try to
work well ahead of the printer, skipping along and telling the system to print
charts in advance. After a bit, the blanking of chart areas begins on all
subsequent charts. If I do not queue charts, then no problem. Only Metastock
messes up. For a variety of reasons, Metastock 6.52 is my last version of this
program. There are no MS upgrades in my trading future. And Reuters has about
the worst customer support that I have ever seen in a company. It will lose me
as a customer within the next 3-6 months unless they suddenly effect a
turnaround in performance and price competitiveness.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Anyway, I can only add that you are not the only one having
printing problems with Metastock. BTW, I am running a HP DeskJet 870cse in
spooling mode.</FONT></DIV>

Status:
<x-rich>Thank you for confirming my problems. Suffice to say, I have yet to hear
from Equis. From the sounds of it, I should be glad my version 6.5
worked without this problem. I too am not thrilled with Reuters or their
service so I believe 6.52 will be the final version for myself as well.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

Chris. I'm thinking along the same lines now too. According to the
Performance Tab under Systems I have 64 MB Ram 67% is free. Do you
think that is sufficient? I've also faxed Equis for support on this,
however its been over 2 hours and I have yet to hear anything. I guess I
shouldn't hold my breath!
